Cowboy Bebop: The Movie 2001
I wouldn’t say this has the same magic, fantastic quality as the show but it’s still a really good time. I think part of the difference is that Vincent has to be taken very seriously like Vicious is in the series but there’s no lingering history between him and the crew like there is between Spike and Vicious, and because Vincent is the main villain of the movie he can’t be a quick villain with a very caricatured quirky behavior.…

Criterion Spine Number 1035

It can easily be described as anti-war but it surely acknowledges that the war needed to be fought to bring an end to the Nazis, the final scene of the Hitler propaganda portrait continuously being shot while Holocaust and propaganda/archival videos were spliced in was great(-ly depressing).
Aleksei Kravchenko (Florya) had perhaps the best performance…
